What does 4-Mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone smell like?

Violently catty and sulfurous neat, opening into blackcurrant bud, boxwood and broom at ppb dilution. The backbone of cassis and Sauvignon Blanc accords and the material widely known as cat ketone; dose at ppb, because anything above a trace reads as cat urine rather than fruit.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
